Lake County Gazette

Former Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran was censored by YouTube for posting a video detailing Hunter Biden’s connections in international business dealing and alleged sex trafficking connections.

“International Child Advocate Attorney Liz Yore knows what type of crimes exist on Hunter Biden’s laptop, and was briefed on the massive file that exists now with the House Oversight Committee detailing his massive links to sex trafficking,” Curran said on Facebook.

“YouTube censored our interview earlier this week for no explanation. However, after submitting an appeal with intent to take legal action against them for unconstitutional censorship the entire interview was restored here: https://youtu.be/Phd8fax8IbA."

Curran’s discussion with Yore was removed from YouTube but reinstated after Curran appealed the decision.

Google, which owns YouTube, has been criticized for silencing conservative voices and has been accused of working in tandem with federal intelligence agencies to engage in a mass censorship campaign against American citizens.

Yore is former special counsel for Oprah Winfrey’s company Harpo, Inc. and before that was general counsel for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

She is a fellow at the Heritage Institute.

“Mark, we're seeing the effect of censorship,” Yore said.

“We were told when Hunter Biden laptop hit the New York Post and The New York Post was taken off of Twitter. They were censored. They were said 51. Remember, 51 intelligence officers, executives said it's Russian disinformation. It was a lie. Now we know it's a lie. They made it up to protect Joe Biden and to ensure Joe Biden would become president.”

“Yes, and his lawyer has admitted the laptop. And now we're beginning to find out because not only on the laptop but also the bank records or have been subpoenaed by the Oversight committee, James Comer. And this week he had an announcement, a press conference about what they saw.”

“They have found $10 million coming from both Romania and China, the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party being filtered through, I think ten or 12 LLC shell companies set up by the Bidens. And this money has been spread to nine members of the Biden administration. The money began flowing when Joe Biden was vice president. There are bank records that are still outstanding to 12 or ten of their banks. So, we only know the tip of the iceberg. This was an influence peddling operation, clearly, you know, why would these countries give $10 million to Hunter Biden unless they were hoping to influence their vice president father? So, this is the tip of the iceberg. It's going to be an ongoing thing.”

Curran’s show “Cross Examination” airs weekly from 4-5 p.m. on WFSI Catholic Radio.

The censorship of Curran’s show is being viewed as the latest in a growing trend embraced by the left and tech companies in which contrarian voices are censored online.

The so-called Industrial Censorship Complex has turned efforts away from foreign adversaries and begun muzzling opponents at home.

The increasing scrutiny of the involvement of intelligence agencies in censorship of domestic voices began with the Twitter Files claiming to expose the role of intelligence agencies in successfully burying the New York Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

That reporting showed a string of emails revealing questionable relationships, including tens to of millions of dollars provided to the president’s son, including from sources such as Chinese Communist party linked companies – along with photos of him in sexual situations with prostitutes and smoking what appears to be crack pipe.

The story was censored from social media and the New York Post’s Twitter account taken down altogether limiting its traction before the 2020 presidential election.

18 months later – far after the election had been decided – the New York Times and other legacy media finally reported the story.

More recently the Twitter Files have claimed to expose the Biden administration’s zeal for an authoritarianism spirit in censoring truthful information including the so-called Covid “lab leak theory” which received new life a few weeks ago when endorsed by the Department of Energy which prompted the FBI top share its assessment that Covid had been created in a lab from where it leaked into the general population.

In Illinois, during the 2022 campaign, Gov. J.B. Pritzker was able to effectively muzzle opponents by threatening media outlets.

LGIS's own publication run, including print editions of the Lake County Gazette, was briefly halted after the Pritzker campaign threatened the Daily Herald, which is the owner of the press that was printing the newspapers.

Pritzker also asked NBC and WGN to pull a Beverly Miles campaign advertisement accusing Pritzker of terminating her for political reasons.

Iconic reporter Seymour Hersh, a Chicago native, is actively being censored by Facebook for reporting on the U.S.’s involvement in the Nord Stream Pipeline bombings.
